  • Mystery game #27: Future IM posts smooth win

    Here is the text of an interesting game. You can discuss the game, guess as to the players' identities, playing strengths, scenario, game format, era, time controls, and so forth. I will provide the full data in a few days. Enjoy!

    NM Jonathan Parker (2215) -- Peter Marshall (2101), Ontario Junior Championship, Kingston 1994 (3). Time controls 35/90, SD/60; played 1994-10-29.
    Parker, playing out of Ottawa, was the winner of this event, with 4/5, and scores a very clean win in this game, over his fellow Ottawa resident Marshall. Black never managed to attain equality out of the opening. The game started as a Closed Sicilian, and Black countered in the centre with ...e6 and ...d5, creating a more open sort of position, after the exchange of pawns on d5, but without White having played d2-d4. Black, seemingly unfamiliar with the opening variation, doesn't have time to castle, and his weakness at e6, after Ng1-e2-f4xBe6, proves a magnet for White's quickly developing pieces, with Black's king coming under fire quickly. Parker earned the IM title a few years after returning to Britain; he was in Canada for only a year or two. Matthew Struthers organized and directed the event, with assistance from this writer.
